freedom-of-movement

freedom-of-movement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts. It costs 70 tokens per session (629 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A guide for finding and removing specific obstructions that leave a workflow stuck, such as locked files, blocked ports, dependency loops, or wedged jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for unblocking pipelines, deployments, and local workflows affected by contention, locking, dependency problems, or environment limits.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a blockage from a core logic failure and resolve the restriction without disturbing the whole system.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

freedom-of-movement scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Freedom of Movement

Cut the nets around a stuck workflow.

What This Skill Does

Freedom of Movement is for processes that should be moving but are caught in glue: locked files, blocked ports, circular dependencies, wedged jobs, or permissions that almost work. The skill is about diagnosing the restraint, then removing or routing around it without tearing the whole system apart. It favors unblocking over brute force. In this grimoire, Freedom of Movement is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Freedom of Movement (spell).

When To Use

  • A pipeline, deploy, or local workflow is stalled by some specific obstruction.
  • You suspect contention, locking, dependency loops, or environment constraints rather than core logic failure.
  • The system might recover cleanly if the right knot is cut.

Prerequisites

  • No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.

Procedure

  1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action.
  2. Trace the exact point of restriction and identify whether it is policy, resource contention, dependency structure, or state corruption.
  3. Choose the least destructive unblock: release, reroute, defer, or re-sequence.
  4. Return the unblock plan with post-clearance checks so movement resumes without hidden damage.
  5. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.

Deliverables

  • A blocker map naming the real constraint.
  • A recommended sequence for removing or bypassing it.
  • A verification checklist for restored flow.

Pitfalls / Guardrails

  • Keep the metaphor anchored to a real mechanism instead of drifting into lore.
  • Do not remove locks, guards, or permissions until you understand who relies on them.
  • Refuse shortcuts that solve the jam by bypassing legitimate security or safety controls.

Verification

  • Check that the result includes every deliverable promised above.
  • Check that confirmed facts, assumptions, and inferences are visibly separated.
  • Check that the metaphor still maps cleanly to a real operational mechanism.
